Kansas School’s Libraries Offer Students Pronoun Pins To Make Preferred Gender Clear

Kansas school’s libraries offer students pronoun pins

"University of Kansas students are being offered buttons through the school’s library system meant to make their preferred gender pronouns clear.

. . .

Library leaders say the buttons are part of the library system’s “You Belong Here” marketing effort meant to lure undergraduates and ensure that they feel welcome, including transgender students.

The buttons come in three versions: 'He him his,' 'She her hers' and, for people who don’t identify themselves as male or female, 'They them theirs.'

'Because gender is, itself, fluid and up to the individual,' a sign at the libraries reads. 'Each person has the right to identify their own pronouns, and we encourage you to ask before assuming someone’s gender. Pronouns matter! Misgendering someone can have lasting consequences, and using the incorrect pronoun can be hurtful, disrespectful, and invalidate someone’s identity.'"
